Chapter 528: Gift
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“On their side, girls can study and choose their own marriage partners. Is it equal between men and women?”
“That’s true in most areas.”
“Then… is America good?”
“Pretty good.”
“That’s great. I want to go to America too.” The girl looked ahead with yearning in eyes.
Yan Nuo looked down at her and suddenly said, “If you can get into Harvard, I’ll pay for you to study in America.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Ji Yinbing said, “Then I’ll definitely get in!”
Yan Nuo smiled.
Silly girl, you don’t even know what Harvard is, yet you dare to accept my challenge.
The two of them walked along the street for a long time. In the end, Yan Nuo felt that it was boring and said to Ji Yinbing, “Do you have any gifts that you like?”
Ji Yinbing only cared about Yan Nuo and did not care about the gift.
She shook her head. “No.”
“Alright, I’ll give you a gift.” Yan Nuo brought Ji Yinbing into a bicycle shop.
Ji Yinbing’s eyes lit up when she saw the bicycles.
What she needed most now was a bicycle that could transport her to and from school.
“Pick one that you like,” Yan Nuo said.
Ji Yinbing chose a red and green bike, not because of how good this bike was, but because of its price. It was relatively cheaper.
Yan Nuo was not surprised that she would choose this bike. The next second, Yan Nuo raised the bike and placed it back. Then, he tiptoed to take off a red and white bicycle hanging on the wall.
This bike was the best and most expensive one in the shop.
As long as she could ride a bicycle, it was fine. There was no need to buy such a good one. Ji Yinbing was about to reject her when she saw Yan Nuo say unhappily, “I don’t have the habit of giving cheap gifts when I give gifts.”
Ji Yinbing immediately understood what he meant.
A cheap gift would make him look cheap.
Only did Ji Yinbing give up.
They carried the bike out of the shop. Yan Nuo handed the bike to Ji Yinbing. Ji Yinbing held the front of the bike and said, “I… I don’t know how to ride it.”
“I didn’t consider it.” Yan Nuo had forgotten that this girl had never touched a bike before. He said, “Let me teach you.” Yan Nuo brought Ji Yinbing to a small park. It was very hot during the day, and the sun was hanging right above their heads. If the sun dropped from the sky, it would hit someone’s head and burn their hair.
Therefore, there was no one in the park. The two of them put aside their differences in status and pretended that they were alone.
Yan Nuo let Ji Yinbing sit on the bicycle. “Maintain your balance and pedal. I’ll support you from behind.”
“Okay.”
Ji Yinbing pedalled with her feet.
The bike slowly moved forward. Yan Nuo followed behind and grabbed the back of the bike. The two of them rode around twice. Yan Nuo did not say anything and secretly let go, but he still followed behind Ji Yinbing.
Ji Yinbing was afraid that Yan Nuo would be too tired, so she turned around and said to him, “Master, why don’t we rest for a while?”
When she turned around, she realized that Yan Nuo was standing. He was not holding her bike.
If she didn’t see it, she wouldn’t feel it. But now that she saw it, Ji Yinbing instantly felt insecure. Her limbs seemed to have stiffened, and she didn’t know how to pedal.
She felt that the bike was about to collapse.
In fact, the bike was indeed about to collapse.
Seeing the bike fall down, Ji Yinbing, who was sitting on the bike, also fell down with the bike.
Ji Yinbing was about to abandon the bike to protect herself when Yan Nuo came over like a gust of wind. Then, Ji Yinbing felt a big hand wrapping around her waist. Yan Nuo hugged her and in a flash, the two of them went to a safe place.
Yan Nuo put Ji Yinbing down and turned to look at the bike on the ground. Ji Yinbing’s feet were on the ground, but she was still in Yan Nuo’s arms.
Her heart was beating fast.
“Master, it’s… it’s alright,” Ji Yinbing reminded Yan Nuo softly.
Yan Nuo came back to his senses and realized that he was still hugging her.
He quickly let go.
Between the two of them, one had a low EQ and the other was young. Neither of them thought in any other ambiguous direction. Ji Yinbing thanked Yan Nuo and picked her bike up. She tried to ride a distance herself. Then, she told Yan Nuo happily, “Master, I’ve got it.”
Yan Nuo nodded calmly. “Yes.”
Ji Yinbing was very happy to receive the gift. On the way home, she insisted on riding her bike back.
Hence, Yan Nuo drove slowly in front while Ji Yinbing chased after him on her bike.
Vera was sitting in the Yan’s living room. When she heard the sound of a car, she quickly stood up. She glanced at the door and saw Yan Nuo getting out of the car. He did not walk into the house. Instead, he turned around and spoke to the little slave behind the car.
The little slave was holding onto a bicycle. Her face was red and a strand of hair fell from her tied hair. When the wind blew, it floated gently.
Yan Nuo was never a talkative person, but he had a lot to say to that little slave.
He had just returned to the country. He did not look for her, spend time alone or look for his brothers. Instead, he accompanied the little slave for fun.
Vera’s eyes flickered with jealousy.
Was the bicycle the little slave was riding also given by him?
Vera recognized the bike. It was a bike released in America last quarter and was highly sought after by the ladies of the upper-cla.s.s society. This was because the slogan of the bike was very special. Its slogan was—
The best bike for the person you care about the most.
Vera did not know if Yan Nuo knew this advertising slogan, nor did she know why he gave this bicycle to the little slave. However, she was indeed uncomfortable.
That little slave…
“Put the bike in the warehouse. Just read some books and relax today. You don’t have to train anymore.”
“Okay.”
Ji Yinbing pushed her bicycle to the small warehouse.
Yan Nuo watched her leave before turning around. When he looked up, he saw Vera standing at the door.
Vera left early in the morning. When Yan Nuo woke up, she had already left.
He did not expect her to come again.
Yan Nuo nodded at her and called out to Vera coldly. He seemed to have forgotten that he had rejected Vera last night.
Vera could not hide anything. He asked Yan Nuo, “You went out with that little slave?”
“I haven’t been back in a long time. I happen to be free, so I went for a walk.” He didn’t answer directly, but he didn’t deny it.
Vera said, “You can look for me.”
Yan Nuo said, “I didn’t see you when I woke up this morning. I thought you…” He was only halfway through his sentence. He thought that after he rejected her, Vera wouldn’t come looking for him again.
Vera understood what he meant.
She smiled and said, “Of course not. Even if we can’t be lovers, we’re still friends.”
“That’s good.”
Yan Nuo did not want to fall out with Vera. After all, her father had died for his mother.
Yan Nuo walked into the house with Vera following behind him. She said, “The first round of the National Finals of the modeling compet.i.tion is next week.. I’m in the top three of the Mumbai City regional selection compet.i.tion, and I’m still in first place. Brother Yan Nuo, can you come and cheer me on?”
